Braunwyn Windham-Burke

Early last December, Braunwyn Windham-Burke came out as a lesbian.

She was sober, living as her authentic self, and she made Real Housewives history to boot.

Serious changes are coming to The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2021. This much is a certainty.

But which cast member is coming? Which long-time star is going? Whose status is very much up in the air?

The expectations of a major casting shakeup for The Real Housewives of Orange County can barely be called "rumors."

The calls for it are almost universal, on Twitter and from Andy Cohen himself.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke was arguably front and center on this season of RHOC.

Viewers followed Braunwyn's life from early in her sobriety journey through the pandemic and to her courageous coming out as a lesbian.

Braunwyn WIndham-Burke declared to the world on the RHOC season finale that she's a big ol' lesbian. Her words, not ours.

It was a powerful, cathartic moment for her -- and she has since revealed her girlfriend to the world.

Kelly Dodd has been getting into trouble all year long for her social media misbehavior.

The latest round of deleted tweets has her making defamatory claims about Braunwyn's mental health.

Last week, Braunwyn Windham-Burke publicly came out as a lesbian in a courageous video.

Now she's packing on PDA with her girlfriend, quashing divorce rumors, and trashing hateful castmate Kelly Dodd.

On Wednesday, December 2, Braunwyn WIndham-Burke came out as a lesbian. Congratulations!!

Now, the first openly gay Housewife is giving fans their first look at her girlfriend.

On this season's dramatic RHOC premiere, Braunwyn Windham-Burke confessed to being an alcoholic.

Now, Gina Kirschenheiter seems to be suggesting that Braunwyn should be ... fired?

They're coming back, folks.

Yes, even Kelly Dodd.

Unfortunately, Shannon Beador and her daughters tested positive for COVID-19 and are all currently isolating at home.

This virus has already claimed the lives of over 150,000 Americans ... but somehow, The Real Housewives of Orange County is still filming. What?

The current Real Housewives of Orange County have gotten COVID-shamed for recklessly meeting up during the pandemic.

But insiders say that they don't understand what they did wrong.
